A Small Southern Enterprise

Where lightnings strike

Synopsis

Costantino, an ex-priest, is confined by his mother Stella to an old and abandoned lighthouse in order to keep his defrocking far from prying eyes. In fact Mom Stella already has another scandal to face: her daughter Rosa Maria broke up with her husband Arturo and ran away with a mysterious lover. The old and abandoned lighthouse, which belongs to the family, instead of providing Costantino’s isolation, suddenly begins to attract bizarre characters, becoming soon a refugium peccatorum. After the ex-priest, also Magnolia, an ex-prostitute, will come to the lighthouse, then the cheted-onArturo and finally an unconventional enterprise called to repair the roof. A comedy made of misunderstandings and twists, able to captivate the audience. A miracle happens in the small southern enterprise: the restoration of a building can become the beginning of a deeper interior “restoration”.
